EFI Hard Drive has been blocked by the current security policy

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

I just swapped out my mainboard and now when I boot I get “EFI Hard Drive has been blocked by the current security policy” and it won’t access the boot device.

You have to disable secure boot in the bios by pressing F12 on startup. I guess you’re running a distro that does not use a recognized signature that is not among Microsoft/Ubuntu/Fedora… right ?

I’m running Pop_OS!

I can’t seem to enter the BIOS, whenever I try it puts me into some weird graphical Intel thing, but there’s a setting to disable secure boot checks and that gets me past it.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact I’ve encrypted the hard drive?

What key are you pressing? It should be either F2 or F10 (one is BIOS and one is boot selection, but I don’t remember which is which). I believe F12 is Intel vPro settings.

I’m hitting F2

Sounds like you’re in the BIOS. The never BIOS versions have a graphical UI.

Okay I spent 30 minutes trying to figure this out… you have to press F2 when the “Framework” logo is showing, not after - otherwise you get into a different BIOS looking menu…. I have to say that’s confusing that F2 is the same button but different results depending on precisely what point in the boot process you are in and that first Framework logo is like 1 second long.
